A Dam Burst After Heavy Rainfall Killing Up To Ten Persons In Kenya by chisam22(m): 8:22am On May 10, 2018
Officials in Kenya say a dam has burst after heavy rain, causing “huge destruction” and killing at least 10.

The breach happened in the town of Solai, 190km (120 miles) north-west of the capital, Nairobi.

“The water has caused huge destruction of both life and property. The extent of the damage has yet to be ascertained,” said Lee Kinyajui, governor of Nakuru county.

Locals told Kenya’s Daily Nation that they heard an “explosion” from the Patel Dam before water started pouring out, sweeping hundreds of homes before it.

Rongai police chief Japheth Kioko gave the outlet a higher death toll, saying 20 bodies had been recovered and that rescue work was ongoing. Read more here... https://www.samueljudah.com/blog/a-dam-burst-after-heavy-rainfall-killing-up-to-ten-persons-in-kenya/
